Short Stories and Poems Presents! "A PLACE IN TIME F0R A KILL" (SUBTITLE; "TIME GRAVITY WELLS")

       Time travel has been featured in literature over the ages. Closely linked with most of the moves of our time.  T V. Shows like time tunnel ABC's long-running series. Star Trek, Time Bandits, Back to the Future's 1, 2, and 3", Time Cop, to name a few!  Why the fascination with time and time travel?  I don't know what other people's reasons are, my sole reason is to go back and get a more accurate record of history.  It is well known that most empires, only recorded what made them look good!  In reality, what are the reasons most people would want to go bake in time to do?  Yes! You said it! MONEY!  To get rich, or to fix some problems in their life.  I would like to think that all scientists, would have a nobler reason to travel through time, but every movie and TV show has explored every dark temptation.  The truth of the matter, one needs to be intelligent enough to make the right decisions as we come to them. That takes parental guidance.  Something most individuals are deprived of.  That is why knowledge of time travel is a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands.  Thus our story: "A PLACE IN TIME, FOR A KILL!" 

         Our Story begins in a lab in Washington D. C., the nation's capital. Dr. Mannis, a brilliant scientist discovered the concept of time gravity wells.  Once he was confident that he could navigate time without disturbing the timeline, approved a field test.  The results were successful he thought at first, but when he returned to his time, he noticed some slight changes that worried him too much, so was thinking of crapping the project and going back to the drawing board!  However, the assistant that accompanied him on the field test disagreed and didn't think it was necessary to be so careful.  The discrepancies were minor. However, after a heated argument, He stormed out furiously!

Argument:

Dr. Mannis:  "Back to the drawing board!"

Assistant:  "What, the field test seemed to go well?"

Dr. Mannis:  "Not well enough.  We must strive for perfection!"

Assistant:  "No!  We have been waiting for this breakthrough for too long"

Dr. Mannis:  "We will not go through this again, and you will learn your place!"

He growled No! again and stormed out!  Little did the good Dr. know that his assistant was planning to betray him from the start, to travel time for selfish gain,  which was his motivation for volunteering for this project.  He snuck back into the lab later that night, stole research, and made off with the time devices.  thinking they were the only ones.  He said to himself; "Now I can travel back and just fix some things in my life, and might as well grab me some money too while I'm at it!"  Little did he know that the Feds were following him ever since he snuck back into the lab!

Fed. Agent 1:  "Stay on him!"

Fed. Agent 2:  "Rodger!"

Suddenly he noticed them tailing him and lost them in the traffic.  When they located him again, it was too late, for he had already opened a time gravity well.  That's how they located him. They activated their devices and followed!   They had to follow him while his gravity well was still open in order to be protected from any time changes.  As the assistant executed his plan swiftly and returned:  The time changes gave him a very unpleasant surprise!

Assistant:  "What the hell!"  He said as he observed war plans flying by with zwar-stickers on them.  in fact, ever where he looked, he saw Notzi troopers and zwar-stickers! Then the Feds caught up with him, as he was saying:

Assistant:  "Oops!"

Fed. Agent 1: "Oops!? Oops!?"  "You screw up this bad and that is all you got to say?" "Come with us idiot, and tell us everywhere you went and everything you did!?"

Notzi Troops:  "Hold it right there, and don't move!"
